Academy Award nominee Nick Nolte has stirred controversy by suggesting that the acclaimed actress Julia Roberts is widely recognized as being less than amiable.
Their professional paths crossed during the filming of the 1994 romantic comedy, I Love Trouble, where they portrayed reporters embroiled in a milk conspiracy investigation.
Roberts had previously disclosed to The New York Times about their strained relationship onset, mentioning how they immediately clashed and got on each other's nerves.
Despite acknowledging Nolte's occasional charm, she remarked on his repelling demeanor, dubbing him as ‘completely disgusting' in some instances.
While their characters might have shared a romantic chemistry on screen, the real-life dynamic between Roberts and Nolte appeared far from friendly.
In a conversation with the Los Angeles Times back then, Nolte didn't mince words, bluntly stating that Roberts was not a pleasant person, a sentiment he implied was common knowledge.
When questioned about the status of their relationship three decades later, Nolte reminisced about the past while promoting his latest project, Rittenhouse Square.
Regarding any potential reconciliation between the two, Nolte hinted at a buried hatchet, reflecting on the tumultuous experience they endured during the film's production.
Recently, actor Matthew Perry disclosed an anecdote about parting ways with Roberts due to his anxieties about her leaving him, shedding light on their off-screen romance following their on-screen chemistry in Friends.
Perry's recollection of sending Roberts roses and her gesture of sending him bagels signifies a brief yet impactful chapter in their personal history.
In his autobiographical account, “Friends, Lovers And The Big Terrible Thing,” Perry candidly expressed his feelings of inadequacy in his relationship with the renowned actress, ultimately leading to their separation.
